Hi everyone,
I got my hatch a few months ago and have been piling up parts in my room ready to build a nice handler! I've got coilovers, bars, brakes, etc., but frankly, I don't have the time or the skill to put them all on. Is there a great 240SX shop in the Bay Area (in or near SF is best) that is known for quality installations and honest prices? It's a lot of parts, and it will probably be a couple day job. So, what shops are worth getting estimates from? Thanks a lot!

-Jake

I'll be sure to post pictures of the beast when she's done!

There's a thread in this same forum.

Good luck

i recommend freeing up some time, LEARNING how to put that stuff on, and doing it yourself. none of that stuff you bought should be too complicated. pretty much all bolt-on affairs. you will save all that labor money, and have the opportunity to build your car with your own two hands! get a buddy who knows his shit, buy him a 6-pack of your favorite beer (pick one up for yourself, too!) and maybe a pizza or a subway sandwich. HAVE FUN!

What it comes down to is if you don't already know how to do it, and it would put a stress on your time, it is typically MUCH cheaper to have any shop put it on. Unless your time is worth about $1 an hour to you, then yea, do that.

This is why I'm asking! Any other suggestions? I'll get ahold of Luke sometime soon. All suggestions welcome!
